Chapter 558 Caught A Big Fish
Chapter 558 Caught A Big Fish
"Order, the three ships spread out in the southeast, northeast, and due west directions, put on the skull flag, fill the artillery, draw the topsail, and get ready for battle!"
Lu Bu picked up the binoculars and glanced at the sea surface in the distance, only to find several small black spots appeared on the sea surface in the distance.
Needless to say, those little black spots are naturally Liu Xiang's patrol boat.
He immediately gave the order, and then he himself steered the boat and headed towards the designated direction.
On the surface of the sea, the speed of the wooden sailboat is not very fast, so whether it is impact or dodge, the speed cannot be increased much.
This is a good thing for them and "607" is a bad thing.
The bad side is that it is difficult for them to catch the opponent by surprise. The good side is that as long as they can aim and hit them, the opponent's flagship will not even try to escape!
This pirate flag was prepared by them long ago.
Liu Xiang's group is considered a very large force among the pirates, and they are an organized group, so the banner is a big Liu character banner.
As for those flying the skull flag, most of them are idle pirates in the West.
At this time, Lu Bu and the others are pretending to be a small group of pirates with no eyesight!
The three ships hid for a full nautical mile, and only slowly gathered in the middle after the pirate fleet began to approach.
Those pirate ships must have been familiar with this road for a long time, and they were full of confidence in themselves, so these guys didn't react until the distance between them was close to less than 500 meters.
Fifteen pirate ships moved forward in a fusiform formation with a distance of no more than ten meters. Between the three ships under Lu Bu's command and the flagship, there was a pirate ship across.
If they rushed over according to the original plan, they would probably be stopped by the pirate ships on the outer edge.
Lu Bu frowned slightly. He expected that these guys would relax their vigilance, but he didn't expect that these guys would be so cautious and protect the flagship so well!
His heart sank, and he began to give orders to the semaphore soldiers.
The semaphore soldiers originally climbed down from the mast and began to prepare for battle, but when they received the order, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, and then they could only climb up to the mast again to give orders!
Lu Bu himself also gave orders to the navy soldiers!
"Get ready for the boarding battle, grab the things around you to stabilize your figure!"
Everyone did so immediately, and then they heard the rumble coming from the pirate ships!
The pirate ships originally sent semaphore soldiers to raise flags here, and wanted to ask them about their origins, but when they saw the content of the semaphore here, they immediately understood that these pirate ships with skull flags were enemies!
Among the fifteen pirate ships, there are still two or three that responded relatively quickly, and have already fired more than a dozen shells!
Among them, only one shot was more accurate, and it happened to hit the side of the ship where Lu Bu was, blowing a hole.
But this little hole is nothing to the hull, their hull shook, and then accelerated towards the pirate ship in front and rushed over!
At the same time, Shi Lang's ship, which was heading straight towards the flagship, suddenly rushed up diagonally, the bow with the iron horn raised high, "slammed into the ship in front of them !
With a bang, the iron horn slammed into the hull of the pirate ship, and then a series of cannons sounded, and Shi Lang's fast ship twisted the hull suddenly to make way for it!
This trick was supposed to be an emergency solution, but Lu Bu didn't use it here!
The row of cannons were all fixed inside the hull, and they were extremely strong. The reason why the hull twisted was relying on the recoil of these cannons!
Although the direction was forcibly turned, the hull of the clipper was twisted almost out of shape...
Dongli father and son jumped out of the cabin screaming, jumped onto the deck of the opposite ship, and began to hack and kill.
And the ship behind the pirate ship couldn't dodge it in time, and also hit it.
Here they disrupted all the guards on the side of the pirate ship, but Lu Bu's clipper took the opportunity to crash into the flagship of the pirates!
This is the tactic that Lu Bu temporarily arranged just now!
The result of adapting to the situation is that Lu Bu wants to catch the leader of the opponent himself at this time!
The opponent's flagship was much larger than ordinary pirate ships, and its stability was also good. Even if it was smashed into the hull by the angle of attack, it didn't mean to break.
But the people on the boat fell down one after another.
And 0.1 Lu Bu took advantage of this forward force to leap forward from the bow of the ship, and at the same time as it landed, the long knife slashed out horizontally, chopped off a pirate with a weapon in his hand, and then went straight to the cabin !
Although he has a strong sense of fighting, but his physical fitness is only a star and a half above ordinary people at this time, so naturally he can't love to fight!
The navy soldiers behind shouted and rushed up, and immediately there was a melee on the deck.
Shi Jin's ship barely held on beside the escort ship, and then it also maneuvered, scurrying back and forth around the periphery, which turned out to make those pirate ships unable to look after each other at the end!
